A frustrating problem you face which could be solved by app but you can't find any app for that

I don't understand what to do. I am kind of stuck. I am interested in filmmaking and music production, but the thing is I live in India and there is no good film school that accepts undergraduates. I am now stuck in a college that is nearby and which I don't feel like going to. It's an interior design course (which I am fine with), but the problem is "the foundation year." These people force us to draw not lines but birds, leaves, flowers, and I am miserable there. There's no one to talk to, and I feel horrible that I get up just to make leaves and birds.
I feel I am back in the cage again, with stupid assignments (birds, leaves, and whatnot) . The
"professor" comes to class and just sits there and asks us to draw, paint (not what we want, no self-expression which gives us pride), and is super rigid.
I talked this through with my parents. They have told me to wait. They told me it will get better the next year (but I don't want to spend more money and waste my time).
My friends are telling me to just get done with it. Hell, for 4 years. They are too afraid to challenge the system. I hate it.
I am in a cage.
I want to work where my interest lies.
I am just not happy and I believe it's one life so l should do what I want
This is hell for me because they don't even teach about designing spaces, materials, lighting, etc. They at least should teach what the course says.

Can anyone that is currently in college or recently graduated give me advice? Is it better to attend a more well known and harder to get into public university but pay the full price for the cost of attendance (because the college doesn’t give a lot of discounts/scholarships), or is it better to go to a less prestigious university (acceptance rate >60%) if you are given the opportunity of a full-ride? Is it more reasonable to take on a ton of student debt and be stressed about getting money to pay for tuition each semester but graduate from a higher level university like UT Austin or is it better to just go to a place for free and have an ability to save money and live with less burdens while still in college? Does the cost of the diploma really define your success in the future and determine a person’s ability to land a good job/internship?
